Is it the atmosphere? The power line? Your brain? Does your system's sound quality vary from day to day?
I thought that maybe we could help newbees who come here and want advice on building their first audiophile system. Here are the parameters: try and keep the whole system under $5K and it should consist of CD player/amp-preamp and speakers.
Here is my recommendation:
Amp-Rotel 1062 SLP ($699)
Speakers-Excite X16 ($1800)
Marantz 8003 SACD CD Player ($999)
I'm a newbie here and have been purchasing most of my vinyl new online. I've run into the problem of a couple of lps being slightly warped. Not horribly warped, just along the perimeter that it is occasionally audible. Is this to be expected of vinyl in general? or is it grounds to send it back to the retailer and request a replacement? Is there any easy way to flatten vinyl?
2 months into 2009, US deaths spike in Afghanistan
Quote:
KABUL (AP) - U.S. deaths in Afghanistan increased threefold during the first two months of 2009 compared with the same period last year, after thousands more troops deployed and commanders ramped up winter operations against an increasingly violent insurgency.
Sound good?
As some of you know I made it through iTunes detox and am happily free from its evil grasp. However I know some of you aren't, so I thought I would pass along a heads-up to this tool recommended by a mac-head friend. Some of the features read like solutions in search of problems to me but the metadata clean-up sounds nice.
Enjoy!
